Euro 2024 - Player Radars #2

12 more players I am looking forward to watching.

I recommended clicking ‘view in browser’ at the top to read the full post as some email providers will cut it short.

This is part 2 of the Radar article where I pick one player from each team and provide their stats radar and why I am interested in watching them. The following teams are covered in this post: Ukraine, Switzerland, France, Hungary, Georgia, Romania, Poland, Serbia, Czechia, Italy, Slovakia, and Denmark.

This now completes one player for all 24 teams, if you missed it you can read part one here.

Ukraine 🇺🇦

Why I’m interested: Dovbyk has been seriously popping in my model from day one. I am hoping he can bring most of his La Liga production to the international stage. 1.4 Projected Goal Involvements for the group stage.

---

Switzerland 🇨🇭

Why I’m interested: I will be keeping an eye on pretty much everyone from Bayer Leverkusen after their season, but Granit Xhaka in particular given the extent to which his performances defied expectations.

---

France 🇫🇷

Yeah…

Hungary 🇭🇺

Why I’m interested: I enjoy it when a player from a relatively weaker international team can do a bit of everything because it amplifies their talismanic nature. Szoboszlai is one of the best examples of this for Euro 2024. Milos Kerkez was a close second - I think he is going to be really good.

---

Georgia 🇬🇪

Why I’m interested: Let’s keep the talismanic theme going. Kvaratskhelia is projected just under one goal for the group stage but this is still a large share of Georgia’s total expected goals. On my model numbers, Georgia are the second-weakest team overall and have just 16% chance of finishing in the top 2 of their group.

---

Romania 🇷🇴

Why I’m interested: Although the comparison sample is more favourable, this is still a surprisingly good radar. He is showing up very well in my projection numbers too. If he gets the minutes then maybe a good chance he has the highest goal involvement for Romania.
